If you're afraid that a conversation about science and faith is inherently contentious, Joseph Vukov has good news for you! Vukov sets the table and invites us to sit down. He walks us through three frameworks for productive dialogue and skillfully equips us to know how and when to apply them in the context of science and faith. -- Janet Kellogg Ray author of Baby Dinosaurs on the Ark? The Bible and Modern Science and the Trouble of Making It All Fit Persistent conflict between science and religion dominates the popular imagination, despite scholarly work to the contrary. Joseph Vukov's helpful work reveals the richly complex ways in which science and religion interact. Filled with helpful anecdotes and an insistence that 'the confident Christian is not intellectually arrogant, ' Navigating Faith and Science is a valuable guide to one of the most important conversations of our time. -- Karl W. Giberson author of Saving Darwin: How to Be a Christian and Believe in Evolution Whereas many introductions to science and faith suggest that there is one and only one correct model for envisioning their relationship, Joseph Vukov convincingly shows that things are more complex than that. Indeed, even though 'dialogue' is often the most fruitful model for approaching issues in science and religion, in some cases we might better keep the two apart or acknowledge that there is a real conflict between them. Dr. Vukov ably and accessibly illustrates these various options, all the while pointing to the importance of intellectual humility in navigating them. -- Gijsbert van den Brink author of Reformed Theology and Evolutionary Theory
